I am currently taking on new clients.

I can offer reduced fees for low income clients.

Looking for a counsellor is challenging, and you may find yourself hesitating. It is a courageous and hopeful act, to think about your own needs and trust you will find someone who will really listen to your story.

My own therapy helped me with a bereavement and change in family dynamics. I found someone I could trust, who gave me the privacy and encouragement to explore and make sense of many things in my life. Now, this support is what I offer my clients.

When you feel something needs to change, you are losing sleep and and you are not happy about how things are in your world, there may well be a recent trigger such as bereavement, serious illness or a difficult relationship, then a counsellor can support you through this rebuilding, so that life improves for you.

My aim is to build a supportive and trusting working relationship with you where it feels safe to explore your feelings, and examine what you know so that you can make your own decisions on how to act in the future.

My practice

I work with a number of issues. Some clients are living with a serious illness or have suffered a bereavement. Others have come to rebuild their self-confidence, and improve their mental health.  I also have a particular interest in working with parents with autistic children.

If you want to find out more, then you can contact me to set up an initial session when you can talk about what you want to get out of counselling and also decide if I am offering what you are looking for. if you are happy to continue then we can set up a second session and arrange the details.

i have a standard fee, but I am  happy to discuss and adjust this in the light of individual circumstances.

Currently, I work with zoom, on the telephone, and face to face in Woodcote.

I qualified as a Person-centred counsellor in 2013 and I am also trained to use Person-centred creative skills as a practitioner member of APCCA (apcca.org.uk). If you find it hard to put thoughts and feelings into words I can offer this as an alternative way of working, if you want to. I also have a qualification in Understanding Autism as well as lived experience. I have worked in various charities with bereavement, coping with cancer, LGBTQ issues, and sexual abuse. 

If it seems right, so, if it’s hard to put something into words, then sometimes I will offer a creative exercise. My clients often discover more about themselves and their relationships when working with drawing, sandtray, collage stones or playdoh because their unspoken knowledge becomes visible, can be explored and what was known but never said becomes consciously appreciated and understood. 

This changes their perception of events; it can move them to a more adult understanding of something troubling which they experienced at an earlier time, and can lead to making better sense of a painful part of their life. They feel less stuck.

During my first session, which is usually by zoom or phone, I will ask for some personal details and listen while you outline what has brought you to me. You probably know what you are looking for as regards a therapist and will need to ask me questions too. It is a time for you to weigh up whether to embark upon therapy with me. We can also talk about fees, and how often you want a session, so therefore this first session is free. Standard sessions will be 50 minutes.
